I used Venix on 23s back in the day. It's V7, the file system is a little fragile
and has all of the limitations that go along with that version of Unix. Its big
selling point was the fact that you could BUY it. End-user Unix licensing didn't
happen until companies like Onyx and Fortune Systems came along.
